Wayfound Grid Search

Grid search coordination

Run a missing-person search from one live map.

One shared picture for the command post: the subject, the last known position, the grids to cover, and where every searcher is right now. Searchers get a phone app for their assignment, clues, and help.

Runs in any browser. The field app installs to a phone home screen with no account required.
